A 42-year-old woman and her dog have died after being struck by a car in Port Glasgow on Wednesday morning.
Amy Gray and her dog Reggie, from Port Glasgow, were hit by a Land Rover Sport as they crossed the east bound carriageway of Greenock Road around 7.05 AM.
The road was shut for several hours as emergency crews rendered aid.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics, both died at the scene.
The driver of the Land Rover was not injured.
Sergeant Patrick McWilliams, of Police Scotland's Road Policing team, said:
"We have specialist officers with Mrs Gray's family at this extremely difficult time.
"I'd ask anyone who witnessed the collision, or who have dashcam footage of the incident, to contact police."
A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
Information can be passed to the police via 101. Please quote incident 0401 of Wednesday, 29 October 2025.
Earlier this morning, traffic was reported to be tailed back in both directions following the crash between the Comet and Kingston roundabouts.
Emergency personnel were at the scene on the eastbound carriageway opposite the Tesco Extra store, with a diversion in place.
